The Screen Guide

In the highlands of Papua New Guinea, a family of landless settlers makes a precarious living from trading in betelnut, one of the world's most widely used narcotics. This is the story of resilient people who have few material possessions but who face each day with dignity and quiet determination. As they go about their daily work, the film presents us with a vivid portrait of present-day life in Papua New Guinea.
